Penley Estate 2022 "Phoenix" Cabernet Sauvignon

$ 2599 $ 2899

Tasting Notes

The 2022 Penley Estate "Phoenix" Cabernet Sauvignon is a contemporary and vibrant expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the iconic Coonawarra region of South Australia. This vintage heavily reflects its unique terroir, showing off the dusty, iron-rich traits typical of Coonawarra's famous terra rossa.
Because this modern Cabernet Sauvignon features a robust tannin structure and a savory, herb-tinged profile, it pairs exceptionally well with rare or grilled proteins. The wine’s chalky tannins cut beautifully through the richness of beef, venison, and roasted lamb chops. For everyday pairings, it is an excellent match for hearty wood-fired pizzas, burgers, and aged hard cheeses like sharp cheddar or gouda. If you prefer a vegetarian option, its varietal notes of thyme and anise complement earthier dishes, making it a great companion for a rich pasta alla norma loaded with savory, tender eggplant, or wild mushroom risotto.

Critical Acclaim

Notes of ripe dark fruit with hints of eucalyptus, cedar, leafy herbs and wet stones. Medium-bodied with polished tannins. Juicy and fresh with crunchy berry fruit and blue flowers. Gentle, but long.

The dusty, iron-rich terra rossa soils show on this Coonawarra Cab. There’s brambly blackberry and black-cherry fruit along with warm earth-meets-iodine vibes and some minty, peppery nuances, too. Lifted acidity and chalky, salivazapping tannins dominate the palate. There’s fruit and spice, too—they just need time to come to the fore.
